Saving face or “saving the planet”

“The Europeans are still feeling bruised, and think Copenhagen was pretty much a disaster. The Chinese and Americans tend to be pleased about avoiding a total breakdown in the talks and think it was useful to get a statement of principles to build on. The point of the meeting was to get a deal that might stand some chance of meeting scientific advice on climate change, not an outcome that could be spun to save politicians’ faces.”
